To start the cold engine it's necessary to inject fuel into the cylinder, to do this, squeeze the pump only 
once while holding the accelerator completely open until you hear the fuel squirt from the carburetor into 
the cylinder. 

 
 
 
 

OPEN the fuel  

tank vent cock 

in this position:  

 

Fig. 22 – Fuel primer push   

diaphragm 

Push the carburetor diaphragm while pump the fuel as 
in fig. 22  for to fuel primer before start the engine.  

 
Allow  a  certain  quantity  of  fuel  to  enter  the  carburetor  but  not  enough  to  allow  it  to  go  out  of  the  air 
filter, if this happens, this means that the engine could be flooded and will hesitate to start . 
 
There are three different positions that can be used to start the engine.  These positions are: 

         

Standing in front of the unit, holding the unit on the ground. 

         

Strapped into the unit, standing on the ground 

         

In flight. 

 
We’ll cover each of these starting options in turn. 
 

- Standing in front of the unit, holding the unit on the ground

 

WARNING!

    The  method  of  holding  the  throttle  handle  is  important  in  this  position.   

Hold  the  throttle  handle  such  that  you  can  easily  reach  the  stop  button,  but  not  so  that  you  can 
inadvertently squeeze the throttle (do not strap your hand to throttle at this point). 
A  common  accident  can  happen  where  you  hold  the  throttle  in  the  same  hand  that  you  hold  the  motor 
unit,  and  if  you  squeeze  the  throttle  a  little,  the  thrust  of  the  machine  will  push  the  throttle  onto  your 
hand, causing you to squeeze the throttle even more. 
 
Make sure that you CANNOT inadvertently squeeze the throttle handle when starting in this position. 
 
-

 

Stand  in  front  of  the  unit,  and  place  your  left  hand  on  the  top  of  the  central  frame  tube.    Hold  the 
throttle handgrip in the same left hand  

-

 

Grasp the manual start grip with the other hand and pull it  until the engine starts. The engine should 
start after a few propeller turns. 

 

 

3.4   The fuel system  

 
The fuel system consists of the fuel tank, lines, manual pump, and carburator. 
When  starting  engine  cold,  the  carburator  must  be  primed,  this  is  simply  done  by  pressing  the 
diaphragm of the carburator while squeezing  the hand pump. 
This forces fuel  to travel from the tank to the carburator float chamber. 
As  soon  as  you  hear  the  fuel  reach  the  carburator  stop  squeezing  the  pump  so  as  not  to  flood  the 
system.
